Thanks for the input. I like the suggestions. I have considered the #3 and the CZ but did not think about a Browning. I have a #1 in '06 and love it. I see the older Winchester's in .22 Hornet are priced into the stratosphere. I think the Ruger 77's are out. I have heard elsewhere about accuracy problems and I agree with Scorch about the ugliness of the Savage. They are hard to shoot when you put a bag over them. My shopping has begun and there are a number of shows coming up in Houston, SA and Corpus. I like shopping. It is much like hunting. At least I'm not shopping for an AR! I'll let you know what I end up with. 44AMP, I also think the Hornet looks like an artillery round in minature. Regards.
